Latest Patents
One of Kenji Tashiro's latest patents is a controller for gas concentration sensors. This invention employs an oxygen sensor to determine whether the exhaust air-fuel ratio is rich or lean. A voltage is applied to the oxygen sensor at device impedance calculation intervals to calculate device impedance. After the device impedance calculation, a reverse voltage is applied to the oxygen sensor to promptly negate the influence of voltage application on the sensor output. Subsequently, the sensor output of the oxygen sensor is sampled at sampling time intervals until it is concluded that the device impedance calculation period is over.
